Arlington Community Network

A local-economy initiative for Arlington, Massachusetts needed a logo, brand, content, and photography to showcase Arlington's history and town culture. I was responsible for the overall brand and workflow of the printed Town Calendar.

Branding, Copywriting, Photography,

Created as a local-economy initiative for Arlington, Massachusetts, ACN needed a brand for its project launch. With input from other Board members, I created the logo and graphic components used throughout all print and web materials. I provided photography to reflect Arlington's businesses, history, and town culture, and I created a promotional package for member businesses. For town residents, I created a "buy local" incentive card for those who signed up on ACN's member site.

My main role was creating a monthly Town Calendar, distributed to member businesses and given free to town residents. The calendar featured timely content about Arlington's economy and business culture, along with articles and a large monthly calendar. I managed all aspects of the Town Calendar, including content, layout, and production.

I designed the initial website layout for Arlington Community Network. The site itself was dynamic, driven by content submitted by members. This image is the dummy layout used by the Web design team to create the site.
